Application filed Se tember as; 1908; Seria1 No. 45 5,176.

Be it known that I ,'WILLIA1\I SYDNEY Giza-Heat," citizen of the United States, re

sidingat Ghicago, in the county of Cook and State ofllllinois, have invented certain/ 'new and useful Improvements in Basin-/ and I do hereby declare theit'ollow ing to be a full; clear, and exactdescription "of the invention, such aswill enable others skilled in. the art to which it. appertains to make and use the-same."

' -This invention relates to a to provide a device of this character. which IS simple andefficien't and provides certain advantages'in case of adjustment and repair tion of and in general appearance, andconsists in the features of construction and combinaparts hereinafter fully described and claimed In the accompanying drawings illustrating my invention? Figure -1'-' is aside ele-;

-4 vation of a basincock constructed in accordancewith my invention; Fig. --2 1s a'central vertical longitudinal section of the same.

The main object ofmy invention is to a provide a basin cock which is of less height than ordinarily so that the no'zzleor spout is disposed nearer the slab and to provide means whereby said cock is easily and quickly mounted anda fluid tight jointv with the service pipe connecting member made, wherebygreater strength, durability and rigidity besides a more balanced and I h fi tj n consists substantially in the specific construction of the base portion of 40 the cock and the delivery end portion of the servicepipe connecting" member whereby the objects of the inventiouare attained.

The'xp ipe A connected at one end with the service pipe in the'usua'l manner and which passes through the basintop is provided at its upper end with a flaring 'mouth bordered loyan annular externally threaded flange B internally tapered at v its upper end. The said pipe A is also provided with i an annular flange C between which and the nut l) the basin top His engaged.

. The body portion F of thecock is prow vided witha downwardly extending annular flangeJjG concentric with a threaded opening in whi h the flange H'of an i'n I a M not el'conv strnctlon, in a basin cock, the. object being" verted cup I' is received; Atthe inlet-erid of, central passage- J the valve seat K is flirmed'upon which thevalve L seats. The ,larger flange M of said 'cupI is externally tapered and fitswith in'th'e tapered mouth of the flange B of the. pipe A, said'tapered surfaces being adapted to form a fluid tight joint.

A cap nut or union membenN is internally threaded-at one end and engages the externally threaded flange B, said nut bing. tapered and providednatits upper end with an inwardly extending annular flange O which engages the shoulder P. ofthecup I,- said flange 0 being loosely confined be-' tween the'said shoulder P andHt-he annular flange G of the body F of the cock. The

said nut N serves to -it'orc'e the tapered end "portion of the flange M of saidcup 1, into the ta ered mouth ofthe flange l3, thereby not on y forming afluid tight joint but also serving to'so securely engage said members with each other as to prevent relative rotation thereof except. upon applying unusual force. The -said nut N ,is -provided at its lower end with an annular relatively heavy flange Q, which is-peripherally cutaway to 7 form -a' hexagonal surface,, and when said nut has been drawndown the requisite distance to properly secure the cup I and flange B together, said flange Q is almost in con- "tact with said flange (3.. In order to prevent the threads-oftheflange B,fro1n being in View I provide i-nthe flange C an annular v I roove R which receives theiannular flange ornamental appearance is 1mp'arted to the "cock.

on the lower end'of the said nut NQ; Eurthermore,'the cock as it appears on the basin top "is heaviest'at the base that is itis well balanced and not top heavy. The greater diameter of the flange B than the pipe A also=insures greater strength atlthe base of the cock than lSllSllfil in this class of fixtures,=such strength and also rigidity of the cock" being greatly increased by the interfltting tapered. joint between the flange B' i and cup I, such wedging interfit being better adapted to resist separation, besides being "be-mounted and removed and the direction,

' rately adjusted.
